I think I've mentioned in a previous blog that I've been practicing vegetarianism, 10 days a month, since I was about 9 years old. I remember when I first started this vegetarianism thing, my mom always tried to make vegetarian food seem like it was real meat so we can eat it. I didn't really... Continue Reading →
I went to the flea market last weekend and bought myself a Mexican cookbook for only $3. I was very excited because the book provided me with a little history lesson on Mexican food, described various ingredients used in Mexican cooking and had tons of authentic recipes.I had some left over rotisserie chicken from...

I wanted to make Chow Mein, but noticed all Chow Mein I've eaten at restaurants or at fast food restaurants are prepared with a similar soy sauce/ sesame oil seasoning. I wanted to twist it up just a bit and do something different. I thought about it for awhile and for some reason Tomato Beef... Continue Reading →

On Saturday, 10/23, there were some exciting events on TV. I invited some of my buddies over to watch UFC 121 and watch Game 6 of the Giants and Phillies NLCS series.

The weeds are almost taller than the 6-ft fence in the backyard. It's pretty bad. A couple months ago, I tried to pull some of the weeds,... Continue Reading →

I was browsing through the America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook and saw some interesting looking Home Fries in the breakfast section. I wanted to... Continue Reading →
Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives is one of my favorite shows on the Food Network. Guy Fieri goes to some cool places around the states and eats bomb-ass food. This Lomo Saltado dish was inspired by a Triple D episode I saw months ago where Guy goes to Taste of Peru in Chicago. When the owner... Continue Reading →
This fried rice brings back memories from my elementary school days. Since my parents worked a lot, my mom's aunt (Bà Cô) watched my cousins, sister, and me after school until about 6pm everyday. While other kids went home to PB sandwiches and Mac and Cheese, Bà Cô hooked us up with Fried Rice with... Continue Reading →
Lately, Sundays have been my favorite day of the week. All I do is cook, hangout with my family...and watch football (while checking my fantasy football stats). I woke up early and went to Safeway to buy ingredients I needed to make waffles and decided to look for something else to cook to go with the... Continue Reading →
